Final day - time to head home

 But first - pics from last night and the final sail...





Mahi ceviche (FRESHLY CAUGHT!)







Bruschetta to start:









Freshly caught grilled mahi:
Decadent final dessert from Hannah:



AND...today's sunrise:


And pulling into Palm Cay Marina:













We said goodbye to our new friends Benny and Hannah, and sadly also had to part ways with Brock and Sarah after such an incredible 6 days.

Brock and Sarah flew home this way (with Brock piloting his plane):

And, THIS was OUR view - - - in line to go through Security at the Nassau airport. Covid results and passport   in hand.




But worth it.  An incredibly fun and beautiful adventure in The Bahamas....


We're already discussing another potential trip with Benny and Hannah actually.  Mediterranean anyone?

Day 6 - we sail to Highbourne...

Sad that this incredible cruise is slowly coming to an end, but...we're going to make the most of the 24 hours remaining!

In our "Synergy" robes ready to begin the day with amazing weather, fabulous coffee and yet another outstanding meal prepared by Hannah.  Life is good...

Sailing to Highbourne Cay and fishing along the way.  Then we'll have lunch there (maybe shop a tad?). Following our stay there, we'll sail up to Rose Island near Nassau for the night.  We'll fly home (sadly) tomorrow - taxiing to the airport around 11am.

Off to make the most of the day now - - -

Et voila!  Gets no fresher than this mahi:

Hannah fileted it:

Dinner tonight: Ceviche and grilled mahi here we come!

Killer lunch at Highbourne at Xuma's!  Burgers and Grilled peach salads with goat cheese (oh, and Goombay Smash's and Mango Mojitos as well!)

How about that view!?
Killer conch fritters

It's 2:40pm here (Thursday) and we are just now beginning our longest sail toward Nassau after lunch (4-5 hours).  Time to read a book or nap until we arrive at Rose Island.  It's the first real "down time" we have had in 5 days.  Our paradise is slowly nearing an end...







POSTNOTE: we didn't sleep or read. LOL. Benny brought out his FROSE and the 6 of us had a ball laughing and talking (and drinking).
